As @Firewrath9 noted, we need more details about the exact model of SSD, not just the manufacturer and whether it uses 3D NAND or not, and how you formatted it. You can also fire up diskmgmt.msc and screenshot your disk configuration as this will help visualize how the drives might be formatted right now.

Your 1TB SSD isn't in the list. The first thing on there (Disk 0) is your 750GB HDD with two partitions on it (D: and E:). The second thing on there (Disk 1) is your 120GB SSD for your OS.

 

Make sure you properly connected the 1TB SSD.

That was dissapointing...

I tried to reconnect the SSD and swap out the cables. It is still not showing up .

Do you guys think that the SSD may be broken? That would suck, the company that i got it from sucks at customer support :(
